Re: [MBZ] Interesting Green W140
True, I didn’t look that closely. An AMG S320? I’m thinking not. Around here S320s struggle with competition from the big boys (S500/600) and don’t seem to command the prices the higher displacement models do. Occasionally you’ll come across a really nice one like my GoodFellows seller had that justifies a higher price, but for the most part they’re beaters. There definitely seems to be more of them than the larger displacement cars, however. I never realized this until I started shopping.

Maybe he put AMG by Alibaba valve stem caps on them?

I haven't pulled the trigger on any yet, but the Carfax Used Car Sales tool seems to be pretty well done. Lots of ways to dial in the search and a lot of cars available BTW. I like the guide that says if the prices are above or below the book price. Does anyone now if the 94 to 99-ish E class wagons came with a diesel? If they did, I'm not having any luck finding them...
